Change my Inbox messages from comcast.net to Microsoft Outlook

[Guest]

I would like to use Outlook to send/receive all my correspondence. Right now
I have to use comcast.net. How do I change this?

does Comcast support pop3 and SMTP? if so, they should have a how to page
for configuring accounts in it or Outlook Express - the steps are similar
but the dialogs will be different.

There is no comparison of MS Outlook to comcast.net. One (MS Outlook) is an
email client. The other (comcast.net) is the email service part of an ISP
(Comcast Cable Internet, or whatever it is officially called).

You can access Comcast either by using a browser to reach their web
interface, or by configuring an email client (MS Outlook) to access their
POP3 server. Have a look here:

Scan down the page; look for either "Outlook" (if you are truly using MS
Outlook), or "Outlook Express" (if you are actually using MS Outlook
Express).

thanks, I'll try tomorrow when I'm not so tired and can think clearly. I am
truly using MS Outlook - not Outlook Express - thanks again
